BMW Motorrad India has launched the new BMW M 1000 R Supersport Roadster in the country. The high-performance naked motorcycle is being offered as a completely built unit (CBU) and can now be pre-ordered at BMW Motorrad dealerships across India. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in May 2026. Its price is Rs 33,50,000 (ex-showroom).
Aggressive design inspired by RR model
The design of the new BMW M 1000 R reflects the brand’s M Performance DNA, combining roadster styling with superbike-inspired elements. The motorcycle features new dual-flow LED headlights borrowed from BMW’s RR model, giving it a sharp and aggressive front profile.
The bike also has M winglets at the front, which enhance the aerodynamic performance. These winglets generate additional downforce at higher speeds. According to BMW, the winglets increase the front-wheel load by approximately 11 kilograms at 220 km/h, improving stability during hard acceleration and cornering.
Other design highlights include M carbon wheels, brake cooling ducts integrated into the front mudguard and a platinum gray metallic rear frame and swingarm. The new M 1000 R is available in Light White Non-Metallic/M Motorsport and White Aluminum Metallic matte paint finish. Buyers choosing the M Competition package can also choose Blackstorm Metallic/M Motorsport.
m competition package
BMW also offers an optional M Competition package, which adds several performance and cosmetic upgrades. This includes M carbon wheels, M carbon body parts, adjustable M rider footrest, M GPS laptrigger and additional carbon components such as chain guard, tank cover and wind deflector. The package also includes a pillion seat cover and M Pillion Package, which further enhances the track-oriented character of the bike.
Engine and performance
Powering the BMW M 1000 R is a 999 cc water-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, which is derived from the RR superbike platform. The engine produces 210 hp at 13,750 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 11,100 rpm. The performance figures are impressive, with the motorcycle capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. Top speed is rated at 280 km/h.
The engine also features BMW ShiftCam technology, which optimizes valve timing to improve torque delivery in the low and mid-range while maintaining strong peak power at higher revs. Additional engine components include titanium valves, optimized camshafts and lighter cam followers, all designed to increase performance and reduce weight.
Electronics and riding modes
The new BMW M 1000 R is equipped with a 6.5-inch TFT display with M startup animation and revised rev counter display. It also supports OBD connectivity for M GPS Datalogger and M GPS Laptrigger. The motorcycle has multiple riding modes including Rain, Road, Dynamic, Race and Race Pro 1-3. These modes allow riders to adjust parameters such as throttle response, traction control, engine braking and ABS intervention.
The bike also gets Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) with wheelie control function, which is supported by a 6-axis sensor system. The traction control system has been modified based on BMW’s RR models to improve performance during aggressive riding and track use. Other features include launch control, pit-lane limiter, cruise control, heated grips, adaptive turning lights and a rear USB charging socket.
Warranty and Ownership
BMW Motorrad India offers a standard warranty of three years with unlimited kilometres, with an option to extend the coverage to five years. The motorcycle also comes with 24/7 roadside assistance coverage.
